BoT probes dubious legal

fees to Mkono law firm



Auditors also query Malegesi legal fees 8 law companies short-listed to take over

THISDAY REPORTER
Dar es Salaam

THE Bank of Tanzania (BoT) has begun an official investigation into highly-questionable legal fees amounting to more than 8bn/- paid to Mkono & Company Advocates after terminating the services of the Dar es Salaam law firm effectively from January this year.

Sources have told THISDAY that the move is based on auditors’ recommendations to the BoT board of directors, stemming from serious audit queries on the legal fees paid to the Dar es Salaam-based law firm owned by Musoma Rural Member of Parliament on a CCM ticket, Nimrod Mkono.
